Question

  The first day of school our professor introduced himself and wanted us to know someone we didn't know. I stood up to look around,when a gentle hand 1        my shoulder. I turned around to find a little 2        lady looking at me with smile.

  She said, "Hi,handsome. My name is Rose. I'm 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?"

  I laughed and responded, " Of course. " And she gave me one.

  "Why are you in college at such an age?" I asked.

  She 3       replied ," I'm here to meet a rich 4       ,get married,have a couple of kids...”

  "No 5      ?" I asked.

  "Haha,I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one ！" she told me.

  After class we walked to the student union building and 6       a chocolate milkshake. We became close friends.

  At the end of the semester we 7        Rose to speak at our football banquet (盛宴) .As we laughed,she cleared her 8        and began , " We do not stop playing because we are old;we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two 9        to stay young,being happy,and achieving success. You have to laugh and 10        humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams,you die. We have so many people walking around who are 11        and don't even know it!There is a huge 12        between growing older and growing up. If you are 19 years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing,you will turn 20 years old. If I am 87 years old and stay in bed for a year and 13        do anything,I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no 14       "
